These Regulations amend the Education (Information About Individual Pupils) (England) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/2601), as amended. The effect of the amendment is that schools maintained by a local education authority are required to provide additional information to that authority, and non-maintained special schools, city technology colleges, city colleges for the technology of the arts and Academies are required to provide additional information to the Secretary of State. The additional information required to be provided is the pupil´s unique learner number, where known by the school.
